I was asked to get to the theatre for 9am so that I could meet S. Hopkins, who is going to be my placement mentor for the first two weeks of the rehearsal period and who is also the Stage Manager of the show for the first two weeks. I also got to meet G. Sharman, (ASM), and I. Andlaw, (DSM) who I will be working closely with for the duration of the rehearsals.
The full cast were called for 10am to 'The Site' (the rehearsal room) for the read through. Myself and the rest of the Stage Management team attended alongside C. Cracknell (director), S. Stephens (writer), V. Featherstone (artistic director), D.Hannan (Assistant Director) and I. MacNeil (Set Designer).
After the read through we all attended the design meeting to discuss the set and the costume with the designers which proved to be very exciting for me as a student trying to understand the different areas to the business.
After the design meeting myself, the ASM, and the SM went to the Stage Management office to start trying to source turquoise swivel base chairs, as proposed by the set and production designer. I was told that the budget for props is to be roughly £1000.
The rest of the day consisted of me doing little jobs for S. Hopkins around the office. This included creating cast head shots on Microsoft Word for the Stage Management team; I also photocopied the costume designs and inspirations from the designers portfolio that were to be stuck up in the rehearsal room:
